Its a cloudy day but its not rainnig. 9h30 and there is already 200 persons going up. At the summit, there's a lot of fog but this add to the thrill. At the third summit, there's frost on the trees. On way back, it was a reel highway, not surprising on a thanksgiving day

We stayed at La Pin Campground right across the road from the trailhead. WIthout having to wait for the bus, I was able to get an early start (5:30) and make a nice trail run to the summit. Didn't see any other people, but a porcupine scared the **** out of me as I rounded a corner about 2/3 of the way up. This trail is amazingly well-maintained. Lots of switchbacks, which you don't get in neighboring New England. The view is striking and expansive and takes in a large, remote tract of land. How many people know about this hidden gem of a hiking trail?
